This is the video that convinced me that I need to make my own bias. I’ve made it before but now I feel like I need to make a day of it with different fabrics

[@Idalee55]

You’re a great teacher!

[@JanHowell]

Thanks. You are so kind

[@deeleach8300]

Thanks for this video. Seems like every other tutorial I have watched makes joining the bias tape seem so complicated and difficult. You make it look like can actually do this!

[@JanHowell]

You got this. There are several other videos showing how to join bias tape. You may enjoy the last one I uploaded. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYa5p4mHdsmslZIsi=R9fa9j5TBQf_yV2a

My God you are very confident with your finger and next to that needle. I do everything in my power to keep my hands as far away from it as possible lol

Yes, sewing your finger is not a fun experience.

I watched your bias tape video and it was great. Just starting making baby blankets for great grand’s. What size tape goes around? I bought some cause I’m in a hurry but I’m gonna try to make it too.

[@JanHowell]

1/2 inch double fold bias tape

[@SBL1932]

How wide is the bias tape? What a well demonstrated video

[@JanHowell]

The strips are cut 2 inches to make 1/2 inch double fold binding. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWeth42Hpdtkn5Ysi=q2GrUawbG2eNzewP kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWeth42Hpdtkn5Ysi=q2GrUawbG2eNzewP

[@niksand1713]

Nice

[@JanHowell]

Thanks.

[@cindyravine8261]

Are you by chance from Utah or Idaho? It's a very subtle accent but I think I am hearing it. Very nice simple tutorial.

[@JanHowell]

LOL, Yes I am from Utah! You nailed it. Where are you from?

[@Velereonics]

Wait wait. You need to do a whole like tutorial on this using the tape to like figure out the exact distance from the needle and Marquette because my machine has markings on it from the manufacturer, but they are wrong I have discovered. There seem to be lots of different techniques people use to kind of make it way easier to tell distances and somebody just needs to come up with like a repository of all those things like getting little lengths and getting your folds exactly the same way along the whole thing. Like I've seen little tricks but I haven't saved all of them

[@JanHowell]

I know what you mean

[@izbcrafts9911]

I have a question > when you make your own bias tape do you prewash the fabric ?

[@JanHowell]

I don't, especially if the fabric I am adding it to has not been washed either.

[@Muskaan864]

Hi mam plz guide me can I use rolled ham foot or gathered foot in singer 3337 machine how can I know wt kind of foot I can use in my machine plz help

[@JanHowell]

You can Google your machine model and most likely find the information you need. I amnot familiar whith that model.

[@melodywalls4693]

Do you prewash?

[@JanHowell]

No I don't
